Interstingly carved front

face covers the spokes

I like the cotter pin

That cotter pin often broke, and was replaced with the main tools for keeping the wagons rolling--spit and bailing wire.

More commonly Roger it was a bent nail

Cotter pins are intended to be a 1 use devise

After being bent back they often broke

Nowadays we have spring pins instead that

can be used indefinitely (until lost)
